I want to know what you guys think about that, cause i have been talking to people of different religions and they are not agreed one to another. Who has the truth in that subject?. Jehovah witnesses, adventists, mormons, catholics. Evangelicals Christians . if you talk to them you will be surprised, cause they talk about the same God but in very different ways.

I am a Seventh Day Adventist, and we believe that Jesus is God. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three entities, but one God. So God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I hope this doesn't confuse you.

@rosekiss I am with you in your belief that that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all in one. The trinity

@Butchcass4 Even though the word trinity isn't in the bible, we do believe that they are one.

rosekiss Genesis 1: 26 "Let US make man in OUR image..." As you know, the word us indicates there is more than one there. The Father sits on the throne with Jesus Christ at His right hand and the Holy Spirit is on the earth with us and within us.

In my faith, God the Father, God the Son. Jesus is the son, both are God.

Jesus is God, otherwise you worship two gods. God said not to put any gods before Him. I'm a daughter, I'm also a mother and a grandmother. Water can be liquid, but it can also be solid when it's frozen.

@Ow4iS3 I am a mother, at the same time, I'm a daughter and a grandmother. So why can't God be God and Jesus, His son at the same time?

Two God can't be worshipped,because God is one and the same to all.He may assume many forms.And He may assume all forms at the same time.

I think that yes, they are a part of each other in much the same way that a child is a part of their mom and dad, but they are still separate individuals. Genesis 1: 26 "Let us make man in our image..." As you know, the word us indicates there is more than one there. To some that us represents the father (God), the son (Jesus) and holy spirit.

@joanreyes00 According to my point of view , God comes to earth in the Human form Jesus . Air is in aircooler and also in outdoors . The Ocean is one and the rivers are many . No need to worry about various denominations . To hold our own belief will be easy to reach the destination .

@else34 John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through ME. Jesus Christ gave His life to pay for our sins so we could be forgiven and our names written in the Lamb's book of Life. Jesus still heals, delivers, redeems and does all kinds of Miracles.

Yes if you talk to the many different so called Christian based religions ....All have different ideas on who Jesus Christ is....So stop listening to what other men say..and pick up the word of God The Holy Bible and go by what it says......if you want to be a true follower of Christ, or a christian.... The Holy Bible says in many different places that Jesus is God in the flesh....... Jehovah witnesses, Mormons....Have changed the Holy Bible into something different...They use different books.. Advantest i do not know much about.... Catholics...Have added books to their bible, and they do many rituals that are not in the Bible.. So when in doubt all ways go to the source the Holy bible....

I am Catholic in Religion and in our beliefs Jesus is the human form of God. He came down to earth to sacrifice himself through crucifixion to save us from out sin.

I've always had this feeling that Jesus and God were the same, yet separate beings with the same powers and abilities.. In the Bible, at least the one I read, Jesus states that the Father was greater than he. According to that, this would make God's authority greater. This is my belief.

in our religion, we believe in the Trinity : there is one God with 3 personas, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. but it doesn't really matter which god people believe in, as long as they do good

@lady,we Hindus too believe in the Trinity that comprises of three forms of God.Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva.Lord Brahma creates the the universe,Lord Vishnu sustains it and Lord Shiva destroys it when it is time for it to get destroyed.

The God of the Bible (King James Bible). John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to (Jesus) Him, "My Lord and my God!" John 10:30 I and My Father are one. To answer your question; "Yes Jesus is God" Matthew 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, "God with us." It is important to know who the God is that you serve. The Bible is full of God's Truths and if you REALLY want to know you'll read it, start in the book of John first as it's all about His love for you and I.

The very complex nature of theology involved in believing in scripture and working through its different teachings / conclusions etc. creates schisms and breakaway sections of churches set up alternative or rival sections of belief. Most religions are splinter sections, or 'sects' from others. Unitarians for example, reject the Trinity idea of Holy Ghost, Jesus & God being united 3-in-1. The Protestant Reformation was due to Luther's rejection of much Roman Catholic doctrine, etc. and so it goes on.

Hy @joanreyes00, I saw your article and it's a very interesting subject to debate on. I am an orthodox girl, but my religion is a bullshit and a few years ago I discovered the Catholicism and I loved it because despite Ortodoxism , Catholics consider that the Purgatory exists, it's a middle place between heaven and hell . Catolics bring as sacrifice the lamb and the Saint Mass , the Ortodoxes consider the Jesus as sacrifice. So...I became converted at Catholics. Catholics consider that the Virgin Mary is borned as Jesus, so The Father created the world and all around us.

I think the answer is yes to both questions. I'll illustrate why I answer that way. If we took a human father (John) and his son (James) and asked the same questions. Is James human? Are John and James very different? The answer, yes James is human. Yes, John and James are very different. Does that make sense? Since the son comes from the father, he would be alike but they would be different in that one caused the other to live and not visa versa. Might that help with the confusion? While God and Jesus are of the same substance, they are different in age, etc.

As a Hindu,I would say,if you firmly believe that Jesus is God,then He is God for you.And if you don't believe in God,then God will cease to be God for you.

@joanreyes,I am a Hindu from India,not a Christian.I have not read the Bible.So don't know what to say.My Christian friends here in my town believe Jesus is God.At the same time they say He is the son of God.I don't see any difference in the father and the son.Hindu faith says if you worship a stone considering it God,you will attain Him.Our philosophy says that the God is not different from His creation.A true Hindu sees God in everything he sees or hears or smells or feels.

What we believe and what is actually the truth are two totally different things. Jesus came to be the perfect sacrifice to pay for the whole worlds sins from beginning to the last soul, to make a way for us to be with Him in heaven forever. The Bible is a proven book, there is much scientific evidences in favor of the accounts of the Bible.
